28 days and 28 posts. Okay, this is the 28th post. I really didn't think I could do this when I on february 1st decided to do this after the Sandra Beijer event. Yes, there was a time when I threw out posts like crazy but that was a long time ago and I have a bit of a different way of blogging these days.

Många frågade av mig att varför jag riktigt tvingar mig själv att skriva inlägg fast jag inte alls känner för det. Tar inte det bort från det roliga. Man skulle ju kunna tro att när man verkligen tvingar sig själv att skriva skulle ta bort det roliga i bloggande, men i mitt fall gjorde det inte det. Jag vet att när man är skrivare/författare/bloggare så måste man ibland tvinga sig själv att skriva för att få bort writersblocken som ibland tar över. Jag har levt lite med en sådan och det har inte varit roligt.It hasn't been easy. Some post have been easier and some have taken a few hours to put together. It would have helped a lot if I had had a few posts ready to just publish when I decided to do this, but I didn't have that. I have totally proved to myself that I can do things when I really put myself on it. It isn't as impossible as you think it is. Many did ask me why I am forcing myself to write even when I don't feel like it at all. That doesn't that take away the fun of it. You would think that it would take away the fun of blogging when you force yourself to write, but in my case it didn't do that. I know that when you are a writer/author/blogger you sometimes have to force yourself to write to get out of the writers block that takes over sometimes. I have been living with one and it has not been fun.

I really love writing and I LOVE my blog more than anything. The blog is everything for me and now that I have finally found the spark again and really itch to write posts it feels like I have found back to myself again. So I am very happy that I decided to do this.

To blog is a really lonely job or lonely hobby that we usually do alone at home infront of the computer. Then you sometimes meet other bloggers at some events. It is the best thing to meet others that understand you passion and I have talked to a few others about this thing that I am going to tell you about and they have liked the idea. I wanna start organising small meetups where we all can meet and the idea is to take with you your laptop/ipad/tablett/phone or whatever you wanna sit with and then we can work together at a café drinking coffee and talking. You can get ideas for blogposts or do a post together or anything. Does this sound like a good idea? Do tell me what you think in a comment and we can figure out something fun!

I have started to have a hand cream here infront of me at my computer desk and that helps me to remember to sometimes put some on my dry hands. Right now I am using the Natusan 24hour Moisture hand cream. The smell is nice and not too strong and I feel like it doesn't leave my hands sticky for too long which is nice. As a friend to the hand cream on the table I also have Sakaré Cuticle Oil which I put on my cuticles and hoping it helps them a bit. It has a rollerball which I like. I also like the smell but as I have said in another post it might be a smell that everyone doesn't like.

Just nu så har jag även lackat naglarna mina och eftersom jag suger på att fotografera mina naglar så tänkte jag att jag nu ändå visar lacken jag har på mig. Först så har jag på O.P.I I sing in color som är en väldigt mörk röd. Ser ungefär svart ut på mina naglar. På den har jag Essence 01 Snowflakes are kisses sent from heaven. Jag tycker att kombinationen blev riktigt rolig. Jag skall försöka ta och öva på att fotografera nagellack för det skulle vara roligt att kunna visa er.Vilken handkräm använder och älskar ni just nu? Right now I also have painted my nails but since I suck at photographing my nails I thought I could at least show you the polishes I used. First I have O.P.I I sing in color which is a very very dark red. It pretty much looks black on my nails. On that I have Essence 01 Snowflakes are kisses sent from heaven. I thought the combination is pretty cool. I am gonna try to learn how to really take pictures of my nails because it would be fun to be able to show you. What hand cream are you using and loving right now?

I had a few goals last year that I wanted to work on and I did pretty well on them, so I thought I would do the same this year. I know that I should have gotten this post up a lot sooner this year, but better late then never right? I haven't actually worked very hard on these because of a few reasons, but now I am going to try my hardest. I did also have a the white month in January and now in February I have worked on getting out a post everyday. Soon I have done that. So they kinda do go under this all. 1. Read more books. This year I am doing the Helmet reading challenge and am going to read a lot more books. There is also the Finlandssvenska reading challenge but I haven't looked in to that. I haven't been very good so far at reading, but I think it is picking up. I am also gonna be using audiobooks since I love listening to books on the bus. I myself am using Audible but there are a million different apps for it. 2. Drink more water. This one I had last year too and I definitely need to have it this year too. I am the person that very often forget to drink enough water during the day even though I know it is so important. I always do great for a while and then forget about it. But I am gonna try again. Since it really is important.3. Invest more on the blog and especially the pictures. I mentioned this in a post a while ago where I had taken a few pictures and liked them. When you take the time to really do something it feels a lot better then when you just quickly take some pictures with your phone. I also think that me writing a post per day this month does go under this one. Since I have been kinda in a frump when it has come to writing post and I believe this month has really helped. I do not say that I will continue doing a post a day, but I have found back to what makes me want to write. 4. Learn Spanish. This is something I have thought about for a while. Since before Cuba actually but it never happened back then. So now I have downloaded Duolingo to my phone and have been playing around with it. I have already learned a few new words and I love it. We shall see if I want to findd a course or something after a while to learn even more since Duolingo doesn't really cover it all. 5. Live more healthy. In this I count food and working out and also a bit of mental health. I wanna eat better and work out a bit more. I have been lacking in both areas and it feel kinda bad. But I think that it gonna be something I am gonna take an extra good look at in March. I wanna feel better this year and I am gonna try different ways to achive it. There will be more posts on this. I could probably add even more things to this but I think that will just make me stressed so I am gonna let it be. I am also gonna have some month challenges as I have had so there will be some fun new ones. Do you have any goals for this year?

I found this over at Dorotea Petterssons blog and it looked fun. I haven't had a list in this blog in a while so it was time for one. You are allowed to copy and fill it out yourself if you want to. Link the post in the commentsection! My name is Emma Johanna. At the moment I am calm and happy because it is the weekendI am good at cleaning.I don't like being stressed or late. I am bad at drinking enough water. I am reading Girl Online Going Solo (actually listening to it but...)I like my friends. I sing only alone or with my closest friends or very drunk. I love that so many of my friends are pregnant right now and soon there will be so many babies to play with. I am not very good at taking out the trash. I prefer texting over calling. I like getting up early in the mornings. I am addicted to chocolate. I am wearing soft homepants and a hoodie.I drink mountain dew if we are talking sodas but white wine if it is alcohol. I listen mostly to audiobooks at the moment. I get mad at all the unfairness in the world. I am scared of wasps. I am embarrassingly bad at math. I have grown up in Helsinki.

Time to try to get rid of some of the empties that I have in my collection under my bed which is growing and growing. In this batch I have a few that are not empty but are so old that I just am gonna let them go. Pepsodent White Now Instant Triple Action Gold! I have so many toothpastes that I am just so happy to get rid of one. Pepsodent is a good brand and I haven't gotten any cavities so I guess this one does its job. Dove Talc Soft Anti-Perspirant Good. Smells good. That's pretty much all I have to say. Lumene Bright Now Vitamin C Shine Control Cream-Gel This one I really liked. I liked the gel-like consistency. There is a bit of this left in the pot but it has been opened for so long that I am gonna say bye to it. I don't want my skin to react badly to it. Delia Cosmetics Cameleo Dry Schampoo The best dry schampoo I have ever tried! Plus it is really cheap as well. I really recommend trying this one. It also does get a plus in not having any silicone or parabens or anything. I love it! You can find this one at Tokmanni. Dentalux Mouthwash Mint & Sensitive Can someone tell me if it is really important to use mouthwash?I have never really understood the reasons or seen any difference so I am probably just gonna save the money for now and not buy any more. At least now that I am having a very little amount of money to use. The Body Shop Honey & Oat 3-in-1 Scrub Mask I have used this one a few times and then just had it in the back without using it. I haven't really fallen for masks that much that I would be using them regularly and this feels like one that should be used pretty quickly. I don't really want to put it on my face anymore because I am scared that it has gone bad so it is goodbye. Isadora Dynamic Lash Growth Serum This was something of a trend at some point and everyone wanted these. There was this with a mascara too. I never really noticed any dramatic growth in my lashes. Lumene Basic Blue Skin Tonic Very very old and has been in my bathroom behind a lot of things. Time to throw out. I really don't have anything to say about it. What have you used up lately?

Thursday, February 23, 2017

Förra veckoslutet åkte nästan alla Brunchbrudarna till Villmanstrand för att se på två pjäser och allmänt ha det mysigt och hänga med härliga Stella som bor och jobbar där. Jag har ju aldrig varit i Villmanstrand så det blev riktigt roligt att få se stället.Last weekend almost all of the Brunchbrudarna went to Lappeenranta to see two plays and just have a good time and hang out with Stella who lives and works there. I have never been to Lappeenranta so it was fun to get to see the place too.

We jumped off the bus and almost the second we got to the theatre it was time to see the first play. It was really interesting to see a play in finnish since it is very rarely I do that, since all the plays i see are at Svenska Teatern. The play was really good and if you are in the hoods I recommend going to see it. After that we were all very hungry and went to Amarillo (yes, we did laugh a bit about the fact that we came all the way to Lappeenranta and somehow went to an Amarillo) to get some food. I ate a really good burger and I do think all the other girls were pretty happy with their food too.

Fören det var dags för nästa pjäs så hann vi gå via butiken och köpa lite mat inför nästa dagens morgon. Vi förde maten till lägenheten vi skulle sova i och sen blev det dags att fara tillbaka till teatern och se kvällen föreställning alltså Jonni, som faktiskt var sista föreställningen av Jonni. Det var en komedi så vi fick nog skratta en del. Sen blev det pizza och några drinkar fören vi bestämde oss för att promenera till lägenheten och göra oss färdiga för natten.Before it was time to go see the next play we had time to go to the store and buy some food for the morning, We took the food to the apartment where we were all gonna sleep and then it was time to go back to the theatre and see the play of the evening. It was the last showing of Jonni. It was a comedy so we did get to laugh. Then we went for some more food, this time pizza and took some drinks. After that we walked to the apartment to make ourself ready for bed.

Next morning it was time for brunch of course with a lot of good food. I can tell you that there is no better way to wake up then to the smell of pancakes! Brunch on Sundays should always be a thing! The it was time to go to the bus and say goodbye to Lappeenranta and come back to Helsinki. I wanna thank Frida, Stella, Stefanie and Stella for such great company and for a lovely trip! You guys rock! Ps. Kati you were missed!Ds.

Vad brukar ni köpa för godis på kryssningar?You didn't think I was able to come off the cruise without any candy? Haha, there is probably no one that can do that. Although I think Zan came pretty close this time. I think she bought like one bag. Haribo Click must be one of my favorite candybags. I really like the small candies in it. I do also think that Haribo does a lot of great bags. This time Lindt got to give me the chocolatefix instead of Fazer. I love Fazers chocolate, but this time Lindt won. Since these are just way too good. I did actually eat one of the Cookies & Cream after taking this picture. Haha. Then we have a bag of liquorice from Panda. I love mixing liquorice and chocolate so these were a must. Last but not least Bon Chance ryechips. We tried the garlic version with Zan when we were sitting at Atlantis and they were so good that when I saw these in Taxfree I just had to take both versions. You can also put these in soups of salads which is pretty cool. What candy do you usually buy on cruises?

Today you get a nice snapchat selfie. You are welcome. I was good this morning and took a shower pretty early because I wanted to get some things done before I was going to meet a friend, well plans changed and it became a homeday. Which was pretty okay since I have been in the groove of cleaning again and I am almost done with the apartment. Soon it is gonna look great again! I have a bit left but it still feels good. Otherwise I have been watching Scream Queens and played stupid games on my phone. And listened to good music to keep me cleaning and danced. A very nice Tuesday I must say. I hope you all have had a great Tuesday!

Sist så köpte jag en ny plånbok från märket Radley ur en ny butik på båten. Eller åtminstone har jag inte sett den förut. Den var också på rea så det var mycket perfekt. Den kom med en söt liten skyddspåse. Den är också gulligt mintgrön inuti. Jag hade ju tidigare ett mobilskal där jag hade kort men blev trött på det och bestämde mig för att gå tillbaka till vanlig plånbok och jag är nog nöjd.It is a week since the cruise and I thought I would show you what I bought. There was not a crazy amount of shopping which was kinda nice. Before the trip I had thought that I needed a new cleanser for my face since my old one was about to run out. So I decided to go with Lumene again, not the same one, but still I like Lumene a lot and they have made some changes that are great. It is gonna be fun to try these out. In Stockholm I only bought a hoodie from H&M. It was on sale and I fell for it. You can probably see why without me telling you. It is a hoodie that is kinda shorter and I have never had any like that so it will be cool to try. I am gonna show you at some point. Lastly I bought a new wallet from the brand Radley from a new store on the ship. Or at least I haven't seen it before. It was also on sale so it was perfect. It came with a little cute bag. It is also mint colored on the inside and it is cute. I had a phonecase before with space for cards but I got bored of it and decided to go back to a normal wallet and so far I like it.

You all seemed to lovemy post about my relationship to alcohol and I myself like the post a lot too and I am happy that I had the courage to write it and post it. Because it is a subject that is important to talk about even though it is quite hard. Yes, I was nervous when I pressed the publish button since I was afraid of how people would take it. Because it is something that people rarely talk about. I can imagine that there are a lot of people that walk around feeling awful because of drinking and alcohol but don't have the courage to take the step to actually quit or drink less in the fear of being tagged as weird or boring when you don't drink at a party. You also stand out a lot more when you say no thank you to a drink or take your own soda with you. You also have to endure a lot of the "why don't you drink?" question. I think it is so stupid that it is weird.

One person that does speak very openly about alcohol and problems with alcohol is Josefin Dahlberg who actually just celebrated 7 years sober. She wrote a very long post about her history and I absolutely LOVED the post. It is so lovely to see someone speak so openly and share everything and really tell that life doesn't end and become boring without alcohol. You don't have to drink to have fun with you girlfriends at a night out.Josefin and Vanja also did a podcast episode about this and I listened to it today on the bus and it was amazing and I recommend it very much. You can find it on Acast which I actually downloaded today. I would love to hear tips on podcasts I should listen to! Vanja has also written a post about how she manages her problem with alcohol. There are so many ways and everyone don't have to quit completely. You just have to find the way that works for you and makes you feel good. The most important part is feeling good after all. I myself am happy with the decision I made about my drinking and I just wanna feel good. That's it.

Vi satt och njöt av den en stund fören vi gick till El Capitan för att äta god mat och skåla med vatten. Vi hade många orsaker att skåla för. Jag kan verkligen rekommendera maten på El Capitan om ni åker med Silja Line. Så otroligt gott.The cruise started with the most beautiful sunset which everyone posted pictures of on different social medias. Pretty sure. Both people on the cruise and also people elsewhere. I at least saw a few on my feeds. We sat and enjoyed it for a while before going to El Capitan to eat and cheers with water. We had a few things to celebrate. I can really recommend the food at El Capitan if you ever take the Silja Line. So good.

After eating we went to Tax Free and bought some dessert and had to buy these. They are so good that I usually just can't resist.

Senare på kvällen (alltså kring 12) gick jag och Zan till Atlantis för att se på midnight showen. Före det var vi även i New York och lyssnade på lite karaoke. Kan säga att där fanns nog ingen stjärna. Men midnight showen var riktigt bra. Efter det var vi nog båda såpass trötta att vi gick i säng. Jag drack en mango mojito och den var super. Jag är ju som ni vet galen i allt som han mango i sig.
Jag tror att vi börjar bli gamla när vi inte längre orkar riktigt lika bra.Later that evening (around 12) me and Zan went to Atlantis to watch the midnight show. Before that we were at New York and listened to a bit of karaoke. I can tell you that there were no stars there. But the midnight show was really good. After it we were both so tired that we just went to bed. I drank a mango mojito and it was delicious. I am as you all know crazy about anything with mango.

I think we are getting a bit old since we can't stay up the same way anymore.

Breakfastbuffé. I mean is there anything better?! I love buffet in the morning. Both me ans Zan enjoyed it for all we could and ate a lot since we were gonna spend many hours in Stockholm. We did some shopping in both Åhlens and H&M. After it we went to Espresso House to meet some relatives and there we shared a chocolate cake. Then we laughed for a few hours.

Back on the both we checked a few of the stores before we took a dinnerbreak and then took the rest. I ate fish&chips and it was good.

Den sista morgonen tog vi igen och gick på morgonmål. För det är så gott och man måste ju när man kan. Sen var det dags att stiga av båten och åka hem. Jag skulle nog bra ha kunnat stanna längre. Jag var nog så glad över att kunna spendera kvalitetstid med både mamma och Zan. Jag och Zan ses ganska sällan så det är skönt att få spendera lite mera tid tillsammans ibland och riktigt catch up.Sen vet ni ju vad jag och Zan gjorde på vändagen. Hihi. Verkligen bra dagar har jag haft. Nu är det tillbaka på jobb. Sitter faktiskt just nu på jobbet och skriver detta inlägg. På kvällen är det föreställning igen.Ha en bra onsdag allihopa! The last morning we went down for breakfast again. Because I mean it is good and you have to when you have the chance. Then it was time to go off the boat and go home. I could have been there for a longer time. I was so happy to be able to spend some quality time with both mom and Zan. Me and Zan see eachother pretty rarely so it was nice to really spend some time together and catch up.Then you do know what me and Zan did for Valentine's day. I have had the best days. Now it is back to work. I am actually sitting at work right now writing this post. In a few hours there is the second show of the day. Have a great Wednesday everyone!

Now I am home again and alone so I can write a post. Zan came over for a while after we got off the boat and we made food and talked. Did celebrate Valentines day a bit. I'm nog gonna celebrate that much since I am going to work soon. It is good that I am single so I don't really have to celebrate. I hope you have had a good day!

I was without alcohol the whole of January and a bit more since it was 8.2 when I drank a drink. I had a white month also last year and I think it's a good thing. Yes, I know it's totally useless and there is no point and whatnot that people say, but I really think that for me it was a good thing to have it both last year and this year. It gets you thinking, or at least it got me thinking, about drinking in a different way. Is it really necessary to get drunk on weekends and at parties? Why do I feel like I need a drink the second something goes wrong or I feel like shit? Why is that the first thought in my head at that point? Is it really that fun afterwards when you can barely see straight and you feel like absolute crap the next day?

I was pretty old when I tried alcohol for the first time. For a long time I was the one who didn't drink. I wasn't the one that got invited to any parties.I remember when a boy in school asked if I could get into any bars and I looked at him like he was crazy and said no. I was probably about 14 years old and I looked a lot younger which is probably why he asked. How could I ever have and at that point it was not something I even thought about. At that time I probably still thought that I would never drink.

Of course I did end up drinking because life changes and you grow up and things happen.

Somewhere around 2011-2012 I started drinking more than before. I started hanging out with a group that drank more than what I was used to. It was parties and it was going out to bars and it was alcohol. I also did change a lot during that time because of the relationship I was in ( and that ended). I got a lot more outgoing and brave which I am very thankful for but that relationship also put me in a spin.

But alcohol did take a huge role in my life because I was kinda trying to mend and drown the broken heart and also still be a part of the gang and it became a huge deal. I was still also trying to find out who I was and become more sure of myself. So there were a lot of parties and a lot of alcohol.

It was fun. I am not saying that I didn't have fun. I had a lot of fun most of the time but of course there were bad moments too. When you suddenly realise that you have taken one too many. There is a lot a wish I could take back. But I guess we all have those...

Somehow I have thought more and more about this whole drinking business lately. Last year the white month was just to try it out but this year there was a bit more thought to it. After new year it was clear that I needed a break and take it easy. I am not gonna go through all the reasons for this because it doesn't belong here, but there are a few. One is that it just went too far every time. I drank too much. So it was time for a break.

I can tell you that it is an experience to be the sober one when everyone else is drinking at a party. It is not my first time I experience it but it is probably a bit different when I have been one of the one who drink. I actually have no problem being sober at a party. I can be, it's fine. It is just interesting to look at people getting drunk. I often got the question that was I okay and how do I survive being there sober. I thought it was a bit funny.

Sure I can say that there were times when I wanted to drink, especially when something went wrong in life. That is why I think it was good for me to take a break from drinking. As I said earlier it really got me thinking. It got me to realise that I think "I need a drink" every time something went to hell. That is not really a good thing.

Well how am I gonna do in the future are you probably wondering. How am I gonna do? To be honest I am probably not gonna quit drinking completely (love wine too much), but I don't think I am gonna go totally back to the way it was. I'm gonna drink when it feels good and try to not go back to the crap feeling.

It was nice to walk home after a few glasses of wine and still feeling in control and then not have a horrible hangover the next morning. I am very happy that I did this and I do recommend trying it.

This got a bit longer than I thought it would, but if you managed to read everything and it did give you some thoughts then please share in the comments! I would love to hear and continue discussing this.

Sunday. I am taking a late weekend today and am going on a cruise with Zan and mom which is gonna be so nice. We are going to Stockholm and you all know how I feel about Stockholm. I am gonna enjoy with all I got, I promise that. I was smart and switched my bedding so now I have nice and clean sheets to jump in when I come home on Tuesday. I have also written tomorrows post so I don't have to stress over it. It is a bit different but I hope you will like it. I liked writing it. But now I am gonna go back to packing and cleaning a bit before I have to go. Have a good Sunday (and Monday)!

I knew of the Bedtime on the iPhone, since the new update, but I hadn't really given it much thought before I read about it on Sandras blog and thought I should check it out and give it a go. I have now tried it a few nights and I can at the moment tell you that I like the alarm a lot better than the other one. A lot more softer sounds that I really like since I am one of the ones that get scared when there are sudden high noises especially in the mornings. I remember countless times I have gotten terrified of a alarm and I can tell you that is not a nice way to wake up. So I really hope that this is the answer to that problem. The time you see on the picture is the time I am trying to keep. I have so far not totally been able to do that, most of the nights I have been going to bed around 12, but I am trying. I have been telling people that I wanna get up at 7 am even though I don't really have to. Most probably think I am crazy. I just wanna start the day early and have the time to do more stuff. I don't like sleeping until noon. It isn't fun. All day has gone by at that point, or at least it feels like that.

Yesterday me and Aino met in the city and went to Friends&Brgrs because they were giving out free french fries since they have changed the potato they use. It seems they do this kind of thing often but I had no idea about it. We were there a bit before 16 and there were a surprisingly small amount of people. When it was closer to four there were a bit more people. When we stood there in the queue we wondered how many fries we would actually get, would it be like 3 or something. We got to hear about how they make them which was pretty cool and then we got a small portion. It was more then 3 so we were very happy. I can recommend Friends&Brgrs both for the fries and the hamburgers. I have had the hamburgers before and it was good. I do rather go here than to McDonalds to be honest. I love when places do these kinds of things and for free. It is really a great way to get people to come and see. Have you ever been to Friends&Brgrs?

Klockan var kring 4 när jag tog mig hemåt och det är nog super längesen jag senast tagit 615 och promenerat från den hållplatsen. Jag njöt av de tomma gatorna och musiken som spelade i mina öron. Nattpromenader är något av det bästa.
Idag är jag lite trött, men det är okej. Snart skall jag fara och köa till Friends& Brgrs för lite gratis franskisar. Bara för att, varför inte!I am so lucky that I live at a place where I can get home by bus even in the middle of the night on a weekday. Yesterday TOVE had its premiere and afterwards there was a premiere party with drinks and food and dance. It was a blast! I who haven't had any alcohol in over a month took it easy on that. It was a lot of fun to celebrate and laugh and see everyone. Such a great bunch of people!It was about 4 o'clock when I started to move towards home and it has been a while since I have taken 615 and walked from the stop. I was enjoying the empty streets and the music in my ears. Nightly walks are just the best. Today I am a tad tired but that okay. Soon I am off to go queue at Friends&Brgrs for some free fries. Just because, why not!

Sometimes weird things happen. Like this morning when I opened my eyes and thought that my alarm should go off soon. I checked my watch and it was almost half 11. I have no memory of my alarm going off but it seems to have done that. My activity tracker has woken me up at 7am but I have my phone on 7:30 and I usually lie there until then. I have no idea of what has happened. It is good that I have work in the evening and that I didn't have anywhere to go this morning.So this day started a bit later. That is okay at times. I got up and went in the shower and ate a bit of porridge ( I somehow managed to warm it for too long and half of it ended up everywhere in the mocrowave). Then I have also organised a bit in my closet and also fixed a new profile picture to all my social media accounts. It is the picture you see in this post. I have heard somewhere that it is good to have the same picture on all accounts. I don't know. I trying it out. Today it is the premiere for TOVE and a bit of a party afterwards. It is gonna be a lot of fun! Maybe it was good that I slept a little longer this morning since I am gonna stay up late.

In the bag there was the book Bildhuggarens dotter by Tove Jansson that Förlaget had given. A lovely canvas bag from Marimekko which I totally will start using right away. And last a small handcream from Dermosil. Not bad at all. I laughed a little when I took out the book from the bag. My life does really circle a lot around Tove Jansson and moomin right now and it is quite funny. Speaking of that I do recommend the play TOVE that har its premiere tomorrow at Svenska Teatern. Now I'm gonna jump back to cleaning. Have a nice day!

For once I am pretty on time with this months Bette Box post. I was very excited about this months box since the last months box was so good so I had a feeling that they might have upped their game a bit. I am also very happy about the new look of the info card. The old one really looks boring when you look at it now. It is also so fun that you can now get your picture on it and win a free box so that is really cool too. I was certainly not wrong when I thought they had made an effort to better the box after the name change, at least not when it came to this box, which is great. There were a lot of full sized products so the worth of this box went up to over 60€ ! Which is really great when you only pay about 16€ for it. There is one product that I have already started using, this morning actually. It is the Helein Biotin+ which helps your nails and hair. I am very happy about it since I have been feeling like my hair might need some help. I have been noticing a lot more of hair loss then before and it makes me sad so I am hoping that this might help that a bit. It can't hurt to try. My nails probably like this too. The other hair product in this box is the Schwartzkopf Professional BC Oil Miracle Brazilnut 10. This is in a spraybottle which makes me like it even more. I love hair care products in spray form since it makes it a lot easier to use then the ones you have to put on to your hands before applying to your hair. This will be great to try out. (fullsize costs 19,50€/100ml)I did laugh a bit when I took up the Palmolive Feel Glamorous deodorant since I had just a few days ago looked through my drawer and realized that I just had two left. You can see the picture I put up on instagram here. It is a really cool and new design on the bottle and I didn't know how to use it at first. I like it but we shall see how practical it is. Can you really have too many spares in yor drawer? I think not! I also love that it is smells of raspberry since I absolutely love raspberry. My mom had some with her to my place a while ago and omg they were delicious. This is surely gonna get used at some point. (1,95€/50ml)The A-Derma Rheacalm Micellar Milk was the product that made me go huh?! Micellar Milk?! I have never heard of anything like it. Very interesting and will be cool to try. It is supposed to clean your skin and take of make up and you don't need to wash it off. That is probably the thing that makes me wonder a bit, the not washing off, but I am gonna give it a go and see what I think of it. (fullsize costs 12€/200ml)There was one product from Nivea. The Nivea Cellular Perfect Skin Eye Illuminator is an eyecreme that is supposed to even skintone and and help with dark circles with somekind of a highlighting effect. This sounds very good to me. I don't know if it is just me looking more closely at myself or if it is really so that I have gotten some pretty dark rings under my eyes. So I hope that this can help a bit with that, together with a good amount of sleep. (15,90€/15ml)Yay a make up product! I always get so happy when there are some in these boxes and lately there has been a lot of them. In this box we have Lumene Nordic Noir Deep Impact mascara. A lot of Lumene now in these boxes. There was a Lumene product in the last box too. I am not complaining though since i do like Lumene a lot and the new look is really nice. The text on the info card promises the sun and moon. Longer, more volume and separated - with just one stroke. I have a hard time believing that but we shall see. Even though I already have a lot of mascaras right now I don't mind one more. I am looking forward to trying this one out. (24,90€/15ml)
+ there was also a Zadig & Voltaire perfume tester card.

As you can see there were a lot of great products in this box. I am super happy! If you have been thinking about getting these boxes I think you should do it. What do you think of this months box? Joo, videon är på finska men jag jobbar på att få engelsk textning till den. Vänta på det. Yes, the video is in finnish but I am working on getting english subtitles to it. Wait for it.
